Hello, I am currently developing a new consumer product concept. I am looking for an experienced product designer/engineer who can help me design, build, test, and ship one fully functional prototype to South Korea. This is a one-time prototype project, not a mass-production project. I have attached two AI-generated reference images. I understand that AI-generated images may not be perfectly achievable in the real world. However, I would like the lighting quality, atmosphere, softness, color blending, and overall visual feeling to be as close as possible to these references. The lighting quality is the highest priority of this project. Project Goals -The goal is to create a beautiful desktop ambient lighting cube that feels elegant, calming, and premium. -The cube should create an emotional lighting experience rather than simply displaying RGB colors. -The overall appearance should feel clean, refined, and modern. Prototype Requirements -Cube size between 15–17 cm -Acrylic exterior -High-quality finish -Minimal visible screws or fasteners -Clean and refined appearance Front Artwork Panel -The front image should be replaceable. My current idea is: -Press the front panel. -The panel pops out slightly. -The user removes the artwork. -A new artwork panel slides back into place. This mechanism is only an idea. If you have a better solution, I am happy to discuss it. Lighting -Lighting is the most important part of this project. I would like: -Soft and even light diffusion -Smooth color blending -Beautiful gradients -No visible LED dots if possible -Comfortable brightness -Premium visual quality I understand achieving this may require testing different materials, LED positions, diffusion methods, or optical solutions. I am completely open to your recommendations. LED System I am currently thinking about: -Separate LED system for the front artwork panel -Separate LED system for the cube itself If you think another solution is better, I am open to discussing it. Lighting Effects Instead of simply turning on, I would like the cube to: -Slowly illuminate with a smooth startup animation. -Remain gently alive while idle with a subtle breathing effect. -Have approximately three lighting modes that create different moods. -Allow touch control to switch between lighting modes. -Allow touch brightness adjustment. Base -The cube should sit on a separate base. Current idea: -Wooden base -Champagne gold accent -Cube mounted at a slight backward angle These are only ideas. I'm happy to hear better design suggestions. Design Flexibility The internal structure is not fixed. The following are completely open for discussion: Internal mechanical structure LED placement PCB Electronics Materials Acrylic type Diffusion method Manufacturing process Assembly method I value your professional recommendations much more than my initial ideas. What I'm Looking For I'm not looking for CAD files only. I'm looking for someone who can: Design Prototype Test Improve the lighting quality Build Assemble Deliver one working prototype If testing different optical solutions is necessary to achieve the desired lighting quality, I fully support that approach. Experience If possible, please include examples of projects related to: LED lighting Optical diffusion Consumer electronics Acrylic products Functional prototypes Before Applying Please confirm that you are able to: Design the product Build one functional prototype Test the lighting Ship the completed prototype to South Korea If you think this project matches your expertise, I would be happy to discuss the best approach, timeline, and estimated cost. Thank you very much for your time. I look forward to hearing from you.

Hi — I’m Mohand, a talented 3D mold and jewelry designer with strong product-design and engineering experience. I’m excited to help create your “Vintage Silver Necklace Mold Creation” and to design the ambient lighting cube prototype you described. I specialize in 3D rendering, mechanical and product design, and lighting engineering, and I’ll focus first on achieving the soft, even diffusion and premium gradients you emphasized. I’ll deliver concept CAD, select acrylic and diffusion materials, iterate optical layouts (LED placement, diffusion layers, and light guides), and build and test physical mockups to eliminate visible LED dots. I can assemble one fully functional prototype, refine lighting effects (smooth startup, breathing idle, three moods), and implement touch control and separate front-panel illumination if needed. I will ship the completed, tested prototype to South Korea and provide documentation of materials, electronics, and assembly for future production. If this fits your needs, I’m ready to discuss approach, timeline, and a detailed cost estimate.
